All the yards engaged in the workhave been fortunate in that no labortroubles have interfered with the pro-gress, and Mr. Walsh states that thegreatest harmony has prevailed, allhands apparently realizing the nepd forturning out the tonnage as rapidly as posisible. This feeling is prevalent fromthe logger who drops the trees to themen who build the ship, and the sixyards are working in a spirit of friendlyrivalry. Some are as big as 21 x 23 inches, andthe smallest is 12 x 14 inches. The rud-der-post is 37 feet long and 20 x 20inches, and is in one piece, as is the pro-peller post, which is 30 x 36 inches and. EXTERIOR VIEW. NOTE PROPELLERS AND RUDDER. The steamers under construction are250 feet long, 43% feet beam, and amoulded depth of 25 feet. They willcarry 2,800 tons deadweight on adraught of 21 feet, and most of the lum-ber used in construction is Douglas fir. Are Strong Vessels A visit to the Western Canada yardshows that the specifications of the Im-perial Munitions Board are high. Fromthe vessel in frame to the completed hull every timber seems to be of beau-tiful lumber of immense strength, andthe vessels are very solidly built. Thereis no evidence of any weakness, and themagnificent timbers are a great testi-mony to British Columbias great lum-bering asset. The ships are to be builtto Lloyds Al and the Brit-tish Board of Trades requirements forcargo steamers. The frames, of course, vary in size. 37 feet long. The beams are 14 x 12 and14 X 13, and the stem is in one piece, 45feet long and 18 x 26
